\"Momsdemand1\"<\/p>\n

It is supposed to insure it.<\/p>\n

I found an interesting analysis about the 2nd amendment a few weeks ago. The analysis states that the language of the 2nd is straightforward and unambiguous.<\/p>\n

It is assumed, according to this analysis that citizens living under the constitution inherently<\/span><\/strong> have the right to own arms and that right is not granted by the 2nd amendment but is protected<\/strong> from<\/span>\u00a0government interference by the 2nd amendment.<\/p>\n

The analysis is far more detailed and can be read in its entirety here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Everytown1\"<\/p>\n

So without thinking about it too much, I sent the link to an acquaintance on Twitter.<\/p>\n

He was, as always embattled with one of the gun control advocates from one of the groups like Moms Demand Action, or Everytown for Gun safety. This analysis made his point and he sent it to the gun grabbers.<\/p>\n

\"Progressives\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019m always surprised by the nasty comments from the gun control crowd. For an \u201cenlightened\u201d, \u201cProgressive\u201d, \u201cWell Educated\u201d, group, you\u2019d think their vocabulary would have a bit more depth.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless it got me thinking about the logic the gun control folks are using.<\/p>\n

\"USConstitution\"<\/p>\n

Some of the gun control people absolutely believe that guns should be removed from the hands of people because of the harm some guns might<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0cause.<\/p>\n

That led me to this thought;<\/p>\n

\u201cBy their logic, I could advocate bringing back Eugenics Laws because one of their descendants might<\/strong> be responsible for killing a bunch of people.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Their logic is just as flawed about guns as mine is about descendants.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t know<\/em> a gun is going to hurt someone any more than you can know a\u00a0descendant is going<\/em> to be a criminal.<\/p>\n

\"Eugenics1\"<\/p>\n

There is no family on the planet that doesn\u2019t have at least one criminal in the family tree and no family is immune from producing criminals.<\/p>\n

I could as easily make the case that preventing people from breeding is likely to be equally beneficial to society and the planet in the long term, as removing guns.<\/p>\n

After all, fewer people sucking up resources burning fossil fuel, etc. would be better long term to combat global warming.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve considered invoking the Zardoz paradigm where the primitives were given guns so that they\u2019d war amongst themselves thereby keeping their numbers manageable.<\/p>\n

\"Eugenics2\"<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think that would add anything useful to the debate other than to offend the fem-nazis by forcing them to view a half naked, hairy, violent, Sean Connery.<\/p>\n

Humm\u2026 Might be worth it after all!<\/p>\n

I wonder all the time, why the \u201cMoms Demand\u201d and \u201cEverytown\u201d groups aren’t also teaching gun safety. I believe that there are too many guns to confiscate, even if I believed that line of illogic. I believe instead, that teaching children gun safety would save more lives.<\/p>\n

I absolutely believe the fewer people in the general population who have knowledge about proper handling of, and behavior around guns; the more likely gun accidents become.<\/p>\n

\"Zardoz1\"<\/p>\n

For me its simply pragmatic. If you teach gun safety you can\u2019t go wrong.<\/p>\n

The educated gun control folks reject that kind of education. These are the same people that seem content with censoring other knowledge as well.<\/p>\n

These folks are content with not teaching children via Chemistry Class about dangerous chemicals in the home. In spite of the fact that accidental poisoning is common.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re offended by locker room nudity, but not extremely suggestive nudity & sexuality in movies. They\u2019ll decry playground fights as unacceptable, but will show DVD\u2019s to their children depicting bloody fights and dismemberment.<\/p>\n

\"Zardoz2\"<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not advocating censorship any more than I\u2019m advocating gun control.<\/p>\n

I just wish these groups were consistent in their logic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
